Obama on The Daily Show

by Stephan Tawney on April 21, 2008

Stupid.

Stewart tells Obama that the real concern voters have are: “The Rev. Wright controversy, the flag pin controversy. . . Will you pull a bait-and-switch, sir, and enslave the white race. Is that your plan?”

Obama laughs it off, responds: “That is not our plan, Jon, but I think your paranoia might make you suitable as a debate moderator.”

If you haven’t been paying attention to The Daily Show, Stewart has done a bang-up job of Obama apologia through his routines. This is, obviously, just the latest.

Apparently we’ve added “paranoia” to the list of adjectives for any criticism of Obama. Worried about Obama’s associated with domestic terrorists, an anti-American pastor, his refusal to wear an American flag pin, and the endorsement he received from Hamas? You’re just “paranoid”.
